Crosslin and two comrades were in a standoff with the FBI over the attempt by the federal government to seize his farm, which had been a host for a regular hippie gathering where participants would smoke marijuana, when FBI agents shot him. A local sheriff had claimed at the time that he was shot after pointing a weapon at officers. According to those who witnessed the attack, however, Crosslin was in the process of surrendering, and was merely carrying a weapon which he did not drop quickly enough to satisfy the demands of local police. Other witnesses have pointed out that the FBI refused to call in a third party mediator to neogitate with Crosslin. News reports have failed to mention that to "secure the area", FBI agents forced several local families out of their homes at gun points, and shut down several major roads in the area. They also reportedly used tanks to shut down anti-FBI demonstrations that spontaneously emerged when people heard of the siege, and carried signs and other protest material to FBI perimeter lines.
